We use quality machinery and a multi-step process of grinding and buffing to achieve a level of shine that looks fantastic and lasts a lifetime. We offer a variety of finishes including matt, satin or full gloss.

What Is the Difference Between Polished Concrete and a Grind and Seal?

Polished concrete differs from a Grind and Seal in that the shine is achieved by mechanically buffing the concrete, rather than through the use of sealant products which would need reapplying every five years or so. Mechanically polishing concrete is more time consuming, longer lasting and requires an experienced eye to get the perfect finish. It’s for this reason that polished concrete flooring comes with a higher price tag than concrete sealing.

With over 20 years’ experience in the industry, the professional team at Concrete Grinding Solutions will ensure your home or business premises has the finish only an expert can provide!

Yes, you can. If you are laying down a new concrete slab, you can choose the colour and there are plenty of aggregate colours, minerals, types, and sizes to choose from for your topping mix. This is also something that you would need to discuss with your concrete supplier.

Yes, you can. If you no longer want the carpeting or the wooden floors in your home, the concrete underneath can be polished to give the floors a contemporary look that is very low maintenance. The final product would hinge on several things, such as the type of concrete currently there, the current state of the concrete floor, the level of damage that has been done to the floor, and the aggregate density.

On a 200kg concrete grinder, large diamond discs would be mounted. They will be rough enough to remove any imperfections while they flatten the floor at the same time. Next, finer grits are used to polish the floors, resulting in a marble shine. It is typically a 14 step process. It would begin with 30 grit diamond shoes and end with 3,000 grit diamond resin pads.

The results would be permanent. The process doesn’t include any acrylic, wax, epoxy, or any other coverings that can fail over time. The final result is a concrete floor that has been polished permanently. If the floor is in a commercial building, an industrial building, or in an institution with heavy foot traffic, several years down the road, the floor may need to be repolished. This is not very costly.
